*grin* Don't worry! In the latest Linux-Magazin
(http://www.linux-magazin.de) is a article about linux-games:

Loki Entertainment Software  has recently specialized in porting Windows
games to Linux by itself. :-) The first port is Civilization III. In soon
future three games will be ported too: MYTH II, RAILROAD TYCOON II and
ERIC's ULTIMATE SOFTWARE. And the world are waiting and looking for
Quake3arena (and the german people are looking for the indicating :-))
The latest beta for Mac and Linux aren't SMP-ready yet, but ID-Software
will it do it as soon as possible.
